The Time Limit (52)

" Later by the road there yes," asked Adel.

" Where did it go?",

" I'm going to stop by the restaurant first, I've made a deal,"

Sakha just nodded.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Sakha turns her car into the courtyard of a restaurant. After parking the car the two immediately entered the restaurant. At a table Fathia sat down and she waved her hand to Adel and Sakha when she saw him enter.

" Assalamualaikum" greetings Adel and Sakha.

" Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Tia.

Adel shakes Tia and kisses her right and left cheeks as is their custom when meeting.

" I'm sorry to make you stop by first. After all, you came here but instead told me in the end when you guys were going home," Tia annoyed.

" Hehehe. I'm sorry," Adel smiled. "I didn't mean it that way" he added.

" Ck, Ck, McK.," Tia clucked in annoyance. "How can you forget me?,"

Adel only smiled while Sakha only watched the two.

" Oh yeah, love makes you forget everything including my own best friend" Tia said.

" Where is it like that?" Adel shook his head.

" Come, let's eat first" Fathia called the waiter and asked them to deliver their shirt food.

They also enjoy the dishes available. After they finished eating, Tia gave them an invitation card.

Adel noticed that the invitation card turned out to be a wedding invitation card, and the astonishing name of the person listed was Fathia herself.

" God is God so you really want to marry him Tia?" asked Adel.

" So that's it" replied Tia.

" How come you're not happy anyway?" wondered Adel.

Fathia sighs. " I'm not unhappy, it's just that you know for yourself how she and I got married?,"

Adel and his best friend are always connected in the group talking about their respective news including Tia's relationship with the person who will marry him. Both Adel and other friends already know, but Adel himself did not expect that the marriage would happen quickly.

" Just go ahead, all I know is that he's a good guy,"

Little does Adel know about the person Tia is betrothed to. Of course, because the person is their classmate while in college, only different majors.

" You know he's a nerd, I probably won't be jealous of women. But, I would definitely be jealous of her books because she spends more time with her books" complained Fathia.

" Yes, you can talk about it after you get married" Adel suggested.

" You're right too" Tia nodded her head. " What matters is that you guys should come?! don't forget the agenda" press Tia. He didn't want any of his best friends not to come on his special day.

"God willing I will come,"

" Oh yes, this is also an invitation for Syifa and Aisyah please yes, Adel," Pinta Tia.

" Aren't you going to send it in person or in a group maybe?" asked Adel.

" I just wanted to give them a surprise. If in the group it is not exciting. But, if an invitation suddenly comes, they'll call me,"

" Basic," Adel chuckled at his best friend.

" Some, they're busy. Rarely call me again. Let it be, those who call first",

After his affairs are over, Adel and Sakha continue their journey. They don't want to delay it anymore. Because they want tonight they're home.

Today, Sakha has returned to the cafe as usual. However, before that he drove Adel first to Aisyah's house to deliver an invitation from Tia.

After that, Adel went with Sakha to the cafe. Because he knew Syifa would come to the cafe at lunch with Yudi, his boss who was none other than Sakha's best friend.

Syifa and Adel are enjoying their lunch together. While Yudi and Sakha are at different tables because they want to talk about the conversation in one eye.

" Fa, I've been entrusted to you" Adel gave Syifa an invitation card.

" Wedding invitation card? Who's getting married?" asked Syifa curiously.

" You open it yourself later and you know the answer, too,"

" Fathia?! Aish, that kid he got married?!, "Syifa was really shocked.

Adel nodded in allowing. " I was shocked when he came home yesterday and called to stop by the restaurant first. Apparently, he gave this invitation

He warns us to schedule and lest we not come on his special day,"

" This kid is really yeah, he's just a story about being betrothed it was just a few days ago right?! Well, today suddenly got the invitation?," Syifa shook her head.

"Indeed the boy will be full of surprises" Adel chuckled.

" Ah right, I'll call and scold her. Maybe he's hiding something big like this from us,"

" yes. yeah.. Just call. He must be happy because that's what he wants,"

" huh? What do you mean?" Syifa did not understand.

" You, Aisyah is busy with each of your lives and she feels sidelined as well as I am starting to organize my life with Sakha. So I'm too focused on my family's life and this is one of the ways he's got you guys calling him first,"

Syifa was just smiling. Among them, it was Tia who was being childish. Even among the four of them, Tia was like their smallest sister whom they guarded and protected.

Maybe because he is a child only wayang so do not feel the affection of the brother or sister. Therefore, he feels comfortable when he is with his friends. Not even ashamed when being spoiled.

" Oh yes, what is your relationship with Yudi?,"

" Rather complicated. I'm honestly shocked by her past,"

" Do you know anything about Lisa and her son?,"

Syifa nodded

" You received it?,"

" I told him I was ready to accept him, if he could be a priest to me. Meanwhile, he himself said honestly that all this time he was far from God. He never worshiped and even read the Koran. Let alone reading the Quran, he admitted that he could not read it. He didn't even memorize the hijaiyah letters",

There's stunned. It turns out that Yudi is really far from the Creator. However, he is still grateful that even though Sakha is close friends with him, Sakha is not affected by Yudi's association.

" What is he doing now?,"

" He's studying even he's private. Bringing teacher njai to his home to learn iqro also learn prayer,"

Adel nagging. He was amazed by Yudi's struggle to carry out worship well.

" However, the problem is that I'm afraid she's changed because she wants to marry me,"

" You just explain it to him. It's okay if what motivates him to change is you. It's just that you can realign his intentions without having to break his spirit.

Syifa nodded.

Their conversation stopped as Yudi and Sakha approached the two of them.
